GCG, GDCGCG
When I was young I had a girl so pretty
GDC
When I was young I had a girl so true
GCG
But you left town and headed out for the city
GDC
And you said you were never coming back through
GCG, GDCGCG
You got a mama and a papa, sister and a brother
GDC
But you ain't got no friends of mine
GCG
You know I cant tell the one from the other
GDC
And since you've been gone, Ive been losing my mind.
GDC
Chorus:
GDC
And if you find your way back to the river
GDC
Wont you wash my black water soul
GDC
Cause I have found my own way back to shelter
EmD/Fsus (mute)
But wont you fi----------nd your way back home
GCG, GDC (x2)
GCG
So I left town about a year ago
GDC
Ive been to New York, Tree Port, and Chicago
GCG
And every now and then I send a post card home
GDC
Cause being gone don't change being alone
GCG
So if you ever miss the cotton fields
GDC
You can find me hanging around the Moonshine Still
GCG
Come back home if your love is real
GDC
Cause I ain't scared of the way I feel
Chorus x2
